nonparRI: Determines the reference interval using non-parametric means
Description
This function uses the appropriate percentiles as determined by refConf to return the
non-parametric reference interval. This is written as a boot function to use within
the function refLimit.
Usage
nonparRI(data, indices = 1:length(data), refConf = 0.95)
Value
Returns a vector of two values, the lower and upper limits of the reference interval.
Arguments
data
data is a vector of sample values.
indices
The indices of data to be used in the calculations. The default is
to use the whole set.
refConf
refConf is a measure of the range covered by the calculation. Most
often, as is the default, 95
